SeeYa:
Sofaki Tag: First the most what catch my atention is the border, and dont go very well with this tag, i see many empty space on it, the up light of the gun is a fail, im not sure if that what was your idea, looks like a scene in rain of a movie. but i dont really like it. the best what you can do in it is delete that borders and in the front of your render add a focal point, with a big soft brush maybe on 15% opatacy in mode soft light just tri.
Flower Tag: Here the same the border dont go with the tag. working in smudge is good idea but i see two worlds crashing in this tag. and that dont looks really good here, delete the smudge yellow line imo. here recently in the most of sings in the front part of the renders i see nothing. cmon create a atmhospere.
Votes:
6/10 SoFaki
5/10 Flower
Reason for vote to Sofaki: fail in the borders, fail in make a solid tag, cuz the light on the scene dont go very well, i saw just a C4D in Filter mode. work more in your foregrounds, and add a focal point, where from the light come, if whe see the render is easy know from where come the light, but in the background? i dont like sorry but your execution is the best.
Reason for vote to Flower: fail with the border too. the sig dont have a solid estructure. dont exist here. fail in the focal point. work more in ur color composition cuz here is a wear combination what make fail your tag.
Tips: the smudge techniques no are just to create a smoke effect. you can use it to do whatever you want just use some settings.. and not all the time is necesary add a boreder beliveme. so here work more with that. and about the deph dont exist that in both of then. the C4Ds are something really usefull but you dont need use all the time resources. is good if you make a combination to have a secene and solid tag. the filters are something cool too to add. but be carefull can ruin all.
MasterDisaster:
Flower sig has a failed smudge and i don't like it.
Sofaki's sig has nice fx and a nice composition
xKenji
Sofaki's Sig has a perfect pen tool cut-out, although it doesn't really suit the sig. the border shouldn't be there and also there should be some more depth. However the sigs bg is pretty nice and has a nice blend
Flower's sig does not acquire good smudging and the two stocks/pics don't blend that well together. the left part of the sig is absolutelly and totally outragous. wtf is that? i could say tho that i like the depth added
